Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 68 'Unified reply, not open.

"Naturally, it counts."

Chen Qiu's expression remained calm as he gazed at the battlefield not far away; those Demon Clan cultivators indeed seemed much stronger than cultivators of the same level, with every Cultivation Technique at the Great Perfection Realm, moving with effortless ease.

Compared to them, those people were evidently more suited to fighting in this environment.

They didn't need to sit cross-legged to maintain their composure, but instead, absorbed Spiritual Energy through their mental methods amid the battle, achieving effects equivalent to his Heavenly Dao Foundation.

Logically speaking,

it was absolutely impossible to operate a mental method during battle, considering how hard it is to maintain composure and circulate a mental method amidst combat.

But obviously...

These Demon Clan cultivators, having stayed long in this environment, almost everyone was capable of this technique, which was equivalent to everyone possessing the effect of his Heavenly Dao Foundation, albeit with a smaller capacity and slightly more complicated than his.

During his numerous releases of the Thunder Summoning Technique, Chen Qiu's control over Spiritual Energy also became increasingly proficient.

He had originally planned to leave the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm and find a place to cultivate for a while, but now it seemed that battling could significantly enhance his control over Spiritual Energy.

Just then—

"Swoosh!!!"

A powerful golden light burst forth from the crowd and slammed directly towards him; caught off guard, Chen Qiu was sent flying a full several zhang away, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Huff..."

Chen Qiu exhaled a long breath and climbed up from the ground, rubbing his slightly aching chest. His right arm hung limply by his side as dozens of shattered Golden Bell Talisman slowly trickled down from his sleeve onto the ground.

The "Golden Bell Talisman," a low-grade Defensive talisman of the Foundation Establishment stage, could block a full-strength attack from a first stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Yet, it was this blast of golden light that had completely ruined his twenty to thirty "Golden Bell Talismans."

"Not bad."

He lifted his head to look at a Demon Clan cultivator in the crowd sneering and beckoning him with a crooked finger and then turned his head to look at a golden arrow lying on the ground beside him, murmuring, "I need to find some way to get something to protect myself."

That bow and arrow must be at least a high-grade Spiritual Treasure of the Foundation Establishment.

Hitting the body, it hurts a bit.

However...

Chen Qiu looked at the mocking Demon Clan cultivator and suddenly started laughing, a spell clash, right?

He saw his fingertips tremble slightly.

The next moment—

Hundreds of Thunder Lights suddenly appeared out of nowhere beside him. The blinding light instantly illuminated the entire battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, all the Thunder Lights, carrying a terrifying deterrent, smashed toward the hidden Arrow Cultivator from the Demon Clan in the crowd!

"Boom...!"

Several explosions erupted loudly within the black mist.

Various colors of light burst forth from many Demon Clan cultivators; all sorts of Protective Body Techniques, talismans, and other methods were automatically triggered. The already chaotic battlefield instantly became even more chaotic. Some keen-eyed cultivators, their faces contorted, charged toward Chen Qiu all at once!

In the chaos of battle, prioritize killing the Magic Practitioners!

Moreover, the environment here was extremely suitable for Magic Practitioners to fight in. Although most cultivators knew spells, the power was definitely not as great as those who specialized in spells. Hundreds of Demon Clan cultivators quickly abandoned their current adversaries and, after slaying all the resentful spirit demon beasts along the way, they rushed straight at Chen Qiu!

A distance of hundreds of zhang.

For these Demon Clan cultivators with fully engaged movement techniques, it wasn't too far.

Especially since not everyone was capable of their technique of fighting while circulating a mental method; even if the region's Spiritual Energy was rich, once the Spiritual Energy in the Tao Foundation was depleted, one would still need to sit cross-legged and calm down to circulate the mental method to recover Spiritual Energy, and in this gap, that was when Magic Practitioners were most vulnerable!

This Magic Practitioner seemed to only be at the first level of Foundation Establishment by feeling, but for some reason, the intensity of the spells he deployed was already on par with the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, typically, for Cultivation at the first level of Foundation Establishment, the Thunder Summoning Technique, a common spell, would be exhausted after just four or five uses of Spiritual Energy.

Why was this person able to cast spells hundreds of times in one go?

Could the Tao Foundation within his body truly accommodate so much Spiritual Energy?

It didn't seem like a talisman either?

Although there were hundreds of questions in his mind, the years of combat experience in the Heavenly Dao Prison had caused hundreds of Demon Clan cultivators to still rush out of the encirclement aggressively, charging straight towards Chen Qiu!

In the Heavenly Dao Prison, one would never die no matter what.

The combat experience that could only be acquired at the brink of life and death, they had experienced countless times.

To kill a Magic Practitioner who was at a moment when he was out of Spiritual Energy was not much harder than killing a chicken!

"Protect this fellow Daoist!!!"

"Quick, quick, quick!!"

At the same time—

Loud shouts also continually arose in the middle of the battlefield, and at this moment, the black fog on the plains outside the city gate had thinned out a lot, significantly increasing visibility.

The black fog was composed of dense Spiritual Energy; now that so many people were absorbing Spiritual Energy uncontrollably, it naturally thinned out a great deal, and the Spiritual Energy from all directions was continuously flowing to this place.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Fufeng City also realized something at this time, that this unknown Magic Practitioner was obviously not an ordinary one, and his capabilities certainly stemmed from a major family or Major Sect, definitely possessing Spiritual Treasures above top-tier Foundation Establishment.

In such an environment where the Spiritual Energy was so dense it nearly condensed into a solid form, the role of a top Magic Practitioner was tremendously significant.

The Demon Clan cultivators were able to realize this issue.

Others naturally could too.

They must protect this Magic Practitioner, to prevent him from dying at the hands of the Demon Clan cultivators, as this would increase their chances of victory a bit after a brief exchange; they realized that these Demon Clan cultivators, whether in terms of combat experience or Cultivation Method Realm, were far superior to them!

If there were no unforeseen changes, they were almost destined to die here as expendables.

Therefore, the originally chaotic battlefield instantly gained some order, many Demon Clan cultivators charged directly at Chen Qiu, while other Foundation Establishment Cultivators who remained in Fufeng City also hurriedly rushed toward Chen Qiu with anxious expressions, ready to protect Chen Qiu behind them so he could have a chance to recover his Spiritual Energy.

...

"Run?"

The scholar, who had at some point situated himself cross-legged on his longsword, appeared beside Chen Qiu, floating in mid-air and frowning, "Shall we move away from here first and then come back after recovering Spiritual Energy?"

He actually quite liked this environment.

Here, he could sit cross-legged on his longsword and move around, which gave him a sense of not being useless. The density of Spiritual Energy here even allowed him to retrieve the grandeur of the top Sword Cultivator from the old days of Da Xia.

"No issue."

Chen Qiu stood in place, letting his green robe flutter with the wind, calmly looking at the hundreds of Demon Clan cultivators charging directly towards him. He slowly raised his right arm and spread his fingers, the palm aimed at the hundreds of cultivators.

After a pause, he softly spoke.

"Unified reply, not activated."

The next instant—

The Tao Foundation, which had already recovered all Spiritual Energy, began to spin wildly again, and hundreds of Thunder Lights instantly emerged from his body, suspending in mid-air. They didn't strike out but instead spun wildly along with the Heavenly Dao Foundation.

The Thunder Lights gathering around him grew more and more.

One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand!
